6 GOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities
7 ============================================================================
8 Synopsis: Multiple vulnerabilities in GOffice could result in
9 the
10 execution of arbitrary code.
11 Announced on: January 30, 2008
12 Last revised on: January 30, 2008: 01

14 Affected package: x11-libs/goffice
15 Affected archs: All
16 Vulnerable: <0.6.1
17 Unaffected: >=0.6.1 >=~0.4.3

20 Related bugs: 198385
21
22 Background: GOffice is a library of document-centric objects and
23 utilities based on GTK.
24
25 Description: GOffice includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable
26 to
27 multiple buffer overflows and memory corruptions
28 vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).
29
30 Impact: An attacker could entice a user to open specially
31 crafted
32 documents with GOffice, which could possibly lead to
33 the
34 execution of arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or
35 the
36 disclosure of sensitive information.
37
38 Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
39
40 Resolution: All GOffice 0.4.x users should upgrade to the latest
41 version:
42
43 # emerge --sync
44 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
45 ">=x11-libs/goffice-0.4.3"
46 All GOffice 0.6.x users should upgrade to the latest
47 version:
48
49 # emerge --sync
50 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
51 ">=x11-libs/goffice-0.6.1"

60 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
61
62 Calculating dependencies... done!
63 [ebuild R ] x11-libs/goffice-0.6.1 USE="gnome -debug" 0 kB
64
65 Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
66
67 I've emerged this several times and glsa-check still claims it needs to
68 be fixed. Why?
